What the numbers say
In 2026, Austria has 15 nationwide public holidays and Italy has 13, so Austria gets 2 more days off. They line up on 10 dates, including Neujahr, Heilige Drei Könige, Ostersonntag and Ostermontag.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Austria has 10 on working days (5 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Italy (6 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Austria offers 5 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 5 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Italy offers 3 and 4. Austria has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is May in Austria and April in Italy.
